In 4th grade I was invited to see a friend of mine in the stage production of "Charolette’s Web." I was entranced by what was happening in front of me. Real life people on a stage with a crowd people watching. The theatre I saw the production at was called Spotlight Theatre and every time Spotlight did a performance‚ they gave away a cookie cake to one of the audience members.
